A lot of the Greco Roman city of Pompeii is still covered in debris¹, almost 2,000 years after Mt. Vesuvius erupted and buried it. It's last breaths from the year 79 A.D. has been incredibly well preserved under a thick layer of ash and dirt. Today, archeologists continue to uncover the remains² of the ancient city.

罗马庞贝古城的许多地方仍被废墟所覆盖，尽管维苏威火山爆发并将其掩埋的时间已过去了近2000年。其最后一次“呼吸”是在公元79年，在厚厚的灰尘层下保存得非常完好。今天，考古学家仍在继续发掘这座古城的遗迹。

One of their latest finds is a type of chariot that's never been discovered in Italy before. It's a large four-wheeled chariot. It was made out of iron, bronze, tin and wood and some of the wood along with the imprint³ of ropes still remains. Not only is the thing remarkably⁴ intact, it somehow stayed that way despite the partial collapse⁵ of the porch it was housed in.

他们最新的发现之一是一种以前从未在意大利发现过的战车。这是一辆大型四战车。它由铁、铜、锡和木头制成，有些木头和绳子的痕迹仍然存在。这辆战车不仅完好无损，而且还保持了原有的样子，尽管部分门廊已经坍塌。

Researchers say they've found vehicles including chariots in Pompeii before but never one like this. A University of Massachusetts professor interviewed by National Public Radio described the find as a "Lamborghini" of the ancient world. The Archeological Park in Pompeii thinks it was used for ceremonial purposes like parades, festivals, maybe weddings. It's been moved to a laboratory to get cleaned up, restored and reconstructed.

研究人员表示，他们以前在庞贝发现过包括战车在内的交通工具，但从未发现过像这样的车辆。马萨诸塞大学的一位教授在接受美国国家公共广播电台采访时称，这一发现是古代世界的“兰博基尼”。庞贝考古公园认为它被用于庆典、节日等，也可能用于婚礼。这辆战车已被转移到实验室进行清理，修复和重建。
